case and point. why would it be "policy" to harrass citizens? we are all americans whether i come from Windermere or clearwater. an officers job is to serve, assist and protect citizens from REAL criminals. true threats, not someone driving 38 in a 35 or not waiting three seconds at a stop sign. that is beyond unrealistic. not only that, for your average american, especially lower to middle income, that ticket can drastically raise their insurance causing a domino effect on their life. but some of these young cops are brainwashed into believing this nonsense. i couldnt give a ticket to someone for one of the above offenses in my right mind or keep a straight face when they asked me why and i had to say "ma'am, you didnt wait three seconds before proceeding through the stop sign that only 23 people go through all day" get a life.....
on top of all that, why do our cities especially smaller ones have such large forces? and SWAT teams? we are a humble town of 10,000. 25 officers puts us at 1 officer to every 400 people. cities with real crime like LA, new york etc have one officer to every 5000! we wonder why our states and federal government are bankrupt, here is a classic example told hundreds of times over throughout the US.
